Menu Plan–December 12

And, we’re still cleaning out! We had planned to go to the Vikings game with friends on Sunday, but the snow even put a stop to that. Translation … we had a nice lazy weekend at home {minus all that shoveling} to end the semester.

We also learned two important home-owner lessons:
1) Buy another shovel. We only have one.
2) Make sure you pull out your snow blower and get it working before the first snow.

This is the 5th snowiest snow storm of all time. The only other snowy storm that I recall was the Halloween Blizzard of 1991.

This last week was wonderful, but so busy. Cooking was the last thing on my mind – so it was a great treat to have my husband, mom and sister make a delicious pot of baked potato soup!

Not fun to shovel, but that doesn't stop me from being green with envy over your snow!!! We're thinking about building an ark up here in the Pacific NW~thanks for sharing your snow pics. Looks like I'm going to have to try some new recipes! ;) Enjoy your time off!

Facebook has kept me up to date with all the snow there- I am kinda jealous. It has been really nice here- but it is december- it should be snowing! Glad you are safe. Enjoy the christmas weather. (I remember the 91 blizzard- our halloween costumes looked funny under our snowsuits!)

You even made the news over here in Belgium with your snowstorm! We have been taking the time to enjoy the Belgian Christmas experience:-) Be sure to check my blog for lowcost gifts from the heart:-) Love your blog!

No snow where I live yet, but last year we had a freak Blizzard on Christmas Eve, so who knows... could still happen. I have to say since I came across your blog I have been coming to it almost daily, checking out all the great recipe ideas. I recently started taking over the cooking in the house again, and while I'm a decent cook, I've only just started to feel comfortable in the kitchen. Thanks for making my journey so much more interesting and fun. Love trying out new things!!!

When cooking, please make sure to follow kitchen hygiene and safety -- cook meat until internal temperature is at safe levels, always check labels for allergens, and use caution in the kitchen -- I love sharing recipes, but I am not liable for damages done as a result of trying these recipes.
